' DISCHARGLGHUTEFOR wAGoNs- To all whom it may concern:

Be it knownthat I, JOHN HARBoLsHnI- MER, a citizen of thejUnited States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of. Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful- Discharge-Chute for Wagons and other -ehicles, of which the following is a Fig. 1

tion on line ywy,

specification.

My invention relates to an attachment to a co'al, grain or other Wagon, cartv or vehicle,

whereby the contents of 'ithevehicle may be chuted laterally therefrom, and consists 1n providing such attachment with novel means orconnecting it with the discharge chute of the vehicle, and with novel means for assist-,-

ing the material entering the attachment in its.outward passage, whereby clogging is prevented, or may be relieved. .v

Figure 1 re resents a perspective view of a chute fembo ying my invention. Fig. 2 represents' a transverse sec-,tion on line x-r,

VFig. 3 reresents a section of a poriv. 1.- f

Similarletters oforeference indicate corresponding parts in the iigures.

Referring to the drawings 'A designates the discharge chute of a wagon, the same being of ordinary construction.

B designates a spout, which is adapted to be connected with said chute and direct the material'discharged from the wagon in lateral direction, whereby the wagon may remain parallel with the side-walk, and ob-y structingthe street is avoided, this feature per se being well known.

The spout B consists of a curved body C and the neck or collar D, said body being removabl7 mounted on said neck, the latter having a rward extension E, which is open at top, and provided on its' sides with the y downturned lips F, which are adapted to be fitted on the sides of the chute A, thus ref movablv connecting the spout with the same, while t e spout is in communication with the chute, and form continuities of eachother.

'i being reversed for that purpose, whereby the I contents of the wagon mayf be discharged towards the sidewallk or elsewhere to the right or left of the wagon, as required, While Eso the wagon remains parallel with the sidewalk, avoiding `the turning of the wagon,

'which otherwise obstructs the street, said contents discharging from 4the wagon asr usualon the chute A andv then entering the. spout Br through which they flow to the desired .pl-ace..l Should the material clog vane H is vibrated, so that as it enters the spout it works against said material and agitates the same and pushes it forward, thus relieving ythe clogging or congestion `and causing an efficient `discharge of the mate' rial.

Whenthe vane is in normal condition, itv practicallyT closes the openingG and pre# or congest in the spout or, the iiow ofV the sameis slow, the' vents the escape of the material theierovided for sustaining 'the in operative position, to

Chains `are bodyv and nec which, however, I do not limit myself.

While I have speciiied certain means for carrying out my improvements, I do not wish 'to b e limited exactlyto the same, but

desire tc'make such changes as may come within the scope of the novelty involved.

Having thus described my invention, whatk esl I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent', is

1. A discharge spout for a vehicle consisting of a 'laterally deiiected body having matched ends, a neck on which either end'of said body may be removably mounted by reversal of said body, and means for connectng said neck with the outlet member of said vehicle.

2. An attachment for a ydischarge spout for a vehicle composed of a laterally-defiected body, a neck on which either end of said body may be removably mounted, and a member extending forwardly from said neck, and adapted to be removably connected with said spout,v the upper portion of said member being open.

3. A discharge spout for a vehicle-composed of a body, and a neck, with which latter said body is removably connected, said neck having lips adapted' to 4be removably iitted on the outlet memberof said vehicle.

4.A A discharge spout for a vehicle having an agitating and pushing device thereon, the

same being adapted toenter said spout and engage the contents thereof.

en opening in the ivall thereof, a vane adaptf ed to primarily occupy said opening and en- 5. A discharge spout for a vehicle having@ ter the body of said spout as requlred, and

vene mounted thereon and adapted to enter 5 the body of seid spout.

6. A discharge spout, a vane adapted to enter the body thereof, a shaft cen'ylng said vene and mounted on said body7 and means for opera-ting said shaft.

7. A discharge spout for vehicle having means for supporting and operatingA the vene.
